With Nady Out For Season

Since the Yankees have officially lost Xavier Nady for the season probably due to Tommy John surgery; which is extremely unfortunate!  Should the Yanks be looking for another right handed outfielder?  I had written a post earlier in the year that the Yankees should have possibly traded for a young and upcoming center fielder such as Rasmus or Maybin, both of which would have cost an arm and a leg plus some more body parts!  It now appears though that we need another player that can man the outfield and offer a right handed stick in my humble opinion.  If not for all of his legal troubles and “dark cloud” over him I would suggest Elijah Dukes as a potential prospect considering his tremendous talent and youth, but all things considered I don’t feel that is a good idea….especially placing him in a city such as New York where his troubles could multiply exponentially!!!  I would still like to make a play for Rasmus with the Cardinals searching for pitching and having a surplus of outfielders, but that isn’t going to happen either in my opinion unfortunately.  Yet there is an option that most likely isn’t that popular, and I am referring to Andruw Jones who is currently sitting in Texas where they have a surplus of young and talented outfielders.  I don’t think it would take much to attain him and I certainly don’t see how it could hurt us to give him a chance.  Perhaps I am wrong though, and I look forward to reading everyone’s thoughts in response!

Sincerely,

Jason
